Otto Warmbier suffered brain damage in N Korea

"He announced that Warmbier "[showed] no sign of understanding language, responding to verbal commands or [being aware of] his surroundings".

North Korean captors reportedly explained Warmbier's state with a diagnosis of a botulism bacterial infection, though American doctors have found no traces of such a diagnosis.

The 21-year-old American student returned to the United States in a coma this week. "Even if you believe their explanation of botulism and a sleeping pill causing the coma - and we don't - there's no excuse for a civilized nation to have kept his condition secret and to have denied him top notch medical care".

Rodman met North Korean Olympic athletes, including judo gold medalist An Kum Ae, reported the AP, which has a bureau in North Korea's capital of Pyongyang.

Kanter said it's impossible to know what caused Otto's brain injury, but it's consistent with a lack of oxygen to the brain for a period of time. He had been on a tour of the reclusive country, his parents said.

Otto Warmbier, sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for "anti-state" crimes that amounted to trying to steal a poster from a hotel, learned this lesson the hard way. Shortly after Warmbier's sentencing, Kim Dong-chul, was arrested on accusations of espionage, and has been held ever since.

The father saluted his son as a brilliant, adventurous and courageous man who did what he could to endure brutality and terror. The doctor said this type of condition is what can lead to the destruction of brain tissue. Kanter added that body scans had revealed no evidence of acute or healing fractures to the chest, abdomen or skull.

The doctors refused to speculate on the cause of the comatose student's condition. "We did not find any evidence of that". "Since the United States does not maintain diplomatic or consular relations with North Korea, the US government has no means to provide normal consular services to USA citizens in North Korea". Warmbier said, "Otto was held as a war criminal".

Warmbier, 22, is in stable condition at the UC Medical Center, where he was taken after his arrival in OH late Tuesday after more than 17 months in North Korean captivity.

Warmbier also accused North Korea of luring Americans to the country with the false promise they will never be detained.

It is not clear how Mr. Warmbier's release has been secured, although his rapidly declining health may have been an incentive for North Korea to discharge him.

"Nobody has seen or heard from Otto since March 2016", Fred Warmbier said.
